Two vintage tales of murder most foul from the bestselling pen of Ellis Peters in this one volume . . .
When Louis Stevenson is found guilty of murder, he leaves the dock loudly proclaiming his innocence. And he delivers, too, a chilling invitation to the four men responsible for his conviction: "You four, I summon to meet me at the time appointed, at the Assize of the Dying."
The meaning of the sinister words become clear almost immediately with two unexpected deaths. And a young couple, convinced that an innocent man has been wrongly condemned, determine to unmask the real murderer - before he strikes again.
Murder is committed, too, in 'Aunt Helen', a story of blind obsession and psychological suspense that starts with what looks suspiciously like the perfect crime . . .
